Resuscitation Officer Diploma Program

Resuscitation Officer Diploma Program

The Resuscitation Officer (RO), is a functional provider hospital staff position used in a number of countries and in the United States. The RO is responsible for responding to critical patient events (frequently as a rapid responder), co-coordinating the mentoring of staff in resuscitation, and may have other duties involving resuscitation education, incident review, and personalized educational campaigns for staff on patient acuity awareness through Early Warning Score (EWS) systems.

Patient survival, patient safety, risk management, hospital certification, hospital award programs and accountable care depends on highly trained, coordinated, and documented cardiac arrest management with increased neurologically intact survival. Completion of the Resuscitation Officer Diploma Program provides training in current resuscitation science including extensive academic, practical lab, and clinical experience.

The following outcomes have been illustrated in studies of facilities and programs that have deployed dedicated RO staff:

  • 50% reduction in non-ICU arrests
  • Reduced post-operative emergency ICU transfers (58%) and deaths (37%)
  • Reduction in arrest prior to ICU transfer (4% vs. 30%)
  • 17% decrease in the incidence of cardiopulmonary arrests

The 600-hour, Resuscitation Officer Program incorporates the 2017 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Education and Science Recommendations, the 2013 IHCA AHA Conesus Recommendations and the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update Resuscitation Officer objectives.

The Resuscitation Officer Diploma Program includes academic work and practical labs at our campus in Vancouver, Washington, with clinical placements in tertiary regional hospitals and clinical sites, as well as an international placement in Costa Rica or Malaysia with a Level I receiving facility.
